...On a different note, can we put the "pot makes you dumb" argument to bed now?? I have a VERY HIGH IQ and i am VERY HIGH everyday! Don't think the number (160) defines who i am, but it makes a good point. Fuck cigarettes and liquor, legalize pot!!!

AHHHH hAhahahaha lol lol Rotflmao.. haha im one of those people tongue sticking out smiley you know if people in the music industry heard this question being pondered they would laugh in your face... DO U KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE THERE ARE! funny, all with there own way of enjoying a concert.. why didnt people have all of these smoke problems 15 years ago, 20, 30 , 40 years ago. In small jazz clubs and EVERYWHERE. Dont believe the hype. It only hurts cuz you keep fucking tounging it, It will heal if you let it go and STOP... Pot has been a way of life for people ACROSS THE WORLD for FOREVER and it always will be... especially musicians, ESPECIALLY. I can't stand seeing little pussies around constantly looking at me like pedestal sitting assholes. your there for the music and the band not to be bothered by some alienated potheads who can't go and have a good time without pious douche bags who can't just shut the Funk up and E.N.J.O.Y..... have you ever smoked pot and listened to NIN? obviously not.

It's all about oral consumption! It's pretty difficult to get busted for munching on baked goods in the parking lot. Plus, it'll carry you through the long haul! Timing is essential, however. Peaking during an opening band is not ideal.

But really, come on kids, it's a rock concert! Reefer haze is part of the experience.

Well said, and I like that suggestion about the oral consumption. Pot smoke usually doesn't bother me much, although sometimes a venue can get too smoke-filled, whether it's pot or cigarette smoke. I'd like to see more people use food or pill methods to imbibe marijuana.

There was SO much pot smoke at the Hamilton show last fall that Trent commented on it during the show, if I recall correctly. I remember standing in front of the sound board for that one and continually being offered a puff from a joint (took some once) and it seemed like half the audience was lighting up joints even though it was a no smoking venue. It's not really helpful for a singer's voice when it's that thick, and we left there with our clothes absolutely reeking of smoke. That was one of those instances where it's just too much. Reasonable amounts is ok.

I'm not interested in paying for what I consider the excessive expense of weed, alcohol, or any other drug, but if a concertgoer or musician offers me a puff from a joint I'm usually happy to freeload. I sometimes have some pain in my hip joints or legs and it makes the pain completely disappear which is the side effect I prefer most. smiling smiley

Who wants to smoke b4 the palladium show 2 nite?

 

09/02/09 1:04 PM

I don't mind if someone is smoking pot but I don't appreciate it when the security guard spots them and they throw the joint at my feet and run away. Not cool at all. I almost got kicked out of a Velvet Revolver show because the guard thought I was with that douchebag.

Save the weed shit for the Cypress Hill concerts. When I go to a show I want to enjoy the music, not breath some asshole stoner's pot smoke..and weed does make u stupid, every girl i know who is a stoner is a moron

Weed doesn't make you stupid, only stupid people do weed tongue sticking out smiley

I remember my first NIN concert - Oct 6 1996 at Nissan Pavilion, in VA. I smelled pot for the first time. But I started having flashbacks to my parent's first house. And it was that moment, that I realized my parents were pot heads up until we moved (I was 3). And that my first first time wasn't in 1996, it was in 1978.

The only thing that pisses me off about pot at concerts is when it doesn't come my way. I *expect* pot to be there. Or, if everyone around you is toking up and you can't breathe between that and the weight of the crowd on you.

It kills me seeing some people freak out so much negatively about weed at NIN shows. It's a friggin rock concert. There should be a disclaimer on the ticket: "ATTENTION! THIS IS A ROCK CONCERT! PEOPLE WILL BE GETTING FUCKED UP! DEAL!"

If you don't like it; move. If you're in a seat; ask the person to chill out. Seeing some of the "OMG! I cant believe stupid morons do this stupid illegal stuff that makes you stupid!" comments reeeeally makes me think they need a toke. Might loosen that stick up their ass.

If you don't like it, it's cool. Freakin the hell out about it harshes the rest of our collective buzz. I don't even smoke that much anymore, but I'm not going to rip on those that do. I guess it's one of those things you can't understand unless you've tried it.

try something more personal - uh certain pills work...wink wink

 

09/08/09 11:45 PM

call me a douche bag, but i f'in hate the smell of pot. guess you can blame that piece of shit dad of mine and his desire to smoke pot instead of raising his kids and taking care of his family. i end up smoking way to many cigs so i dont have to smell pot at most shows. hopefully wiltern will be a semi potless venue. i'm ok if you want to do that on your own, but in such tight quarters it really gets to some of us. i'm no saint, i drink, curse, smoke cigs and hook up with almost any woman that walks.... but somehow pot is a no-no in my book

 

09/10/09 7:37 PM

i dont like it...at all. the smell of weed sort of makes me sick.
but every concert i've been to has weed...somewhere. and i always get a good whiff of it (not intentionally, haha) eventually, but its inevitable.

now, what i REALLY hate is when i freaking get beer spilled on me. HATE IT.

this is less about nin than it is a theoretical debate on cannabis use.
i dont give a fuck who you are, we all have our varying pleasures,
and your brain wont let you forget it.

though it will forget the point it was trying to make.



...




what were we talking about?

i think pot smoking and rock concerts go hand in hand. actually, i saw nin live in indianapolis on 420 2000 and security was telling everybody "we know what day it is, if you have any illegal substances on your person, hide it where we can't find it." that's what the guy was really saying so it was practically incouraged!!!

I expect smokers and drinkers of all kinds to be at shows so I don't go to too many live events because I can't stand it. The exposure disgusts me and I can't stand smelling it or smelling like it. I get that it's all part of the experience and yadda, yadda... it's just not for me. Instead of going to a show and dodging peoples' drinks and getting smoke blown in my face... and spending the rest of the show trying to keep myself from smacking the shit out of someone (maybe being arrested) for doing something so fucking inconsiderate... I stay at home and live vicariously through the great people who share their show experiences.

NIN is a "hippie" band, but the hippies never found out because Trent never used flowers or said groovy. The use of psychedelics enhances a NIN event.

I found out, but didn't tell the rest because too many would die from the ultimate concet experience.

Most stoners are mellow. I think most are annoyed by the smoke as we have been told that it will cause instant death.

Sloppy drinkers are the worst.

hippie ?

mellow ?

jesus sky diving christ, the idea some of you people have about nine inch nails is soo far off

i want chaos, i don't wanna breath smoke that will make me mellow

pot smoke doesn't bother me really. i would much rather smell that than have to smell cigarette smoke or deal with drunk assholes.

 

10/29/09 10:35 PM

Smoke isn't bad...booze shouldn't be at shows. People run around like idiots pushing you over and throwing beer on your clothes. Haven't been to a concert where I wasn't soaked with some guys beer...

 

10/30/09 7:01 AM

i think the two go hand-in-hand. I would much rather deal with spaced out stoners @ a show than drunk assholes.
Pot smoking doesn't bother me in the least bit and even though i think i'd rather be sober for most concerts i go to the occasional blunt here or there is fine. (and i really can't say anything about it since I was ripped at the NIN show i went to)

< Was one

Pot doesn't make people stupid. People who are stupid and smoke it were stupid before ever smoking. There are plenty intellectual folk out there that smoke it. I wrote my best papers in University high...smoking smiley

I say catch any kind of buzz you want, I love smokin' a little grass and having a couple drinks at any good concert.. I just do my best to maintain a decent attitude and respect the people around me.. Do to others what you would have them do to you.. golden rule and all that stuff..

Unfortunately, the small minority of people who are capable of this are an even smaller minority at concerts. It's sad that simple respect and politeness are really that far gone in the world today, and total wasted loud annoying morons end up at concerts in massive numbers..

I remember at one of the Manchester Apollo shows way back, that there was a guy in front of us smoking, and two girls next to him mentioned the smell - so he ofered them a drag. It was quite surreal watching this girl take a drag and then promptly vomit on the floor. To add to it, a guy reached through me and my brother and tapped the guy on the shoulder and said 'Here mate, can my Mum have a drag of that?'

There he was, 3 rows back at a NIN show, in the centre of the pit with his Mum asking if she could have a drag of another guys joint.
